New Cook Book Limited Edition Review

I love to cook, especially during the Christmas holidays.  My favorite is cookies. I have lots of cookbooks that pertain to that.  What I do is read them all, just like a library book, then I start from scratch, with thoughts of sugar plums dancing in my head.  I will combine different ingredients from an assortment of receipes, then I add a cup of Amish yeast bread dough which I have modified.  I come up with some wonderful tasting cookies that always stay soft for the holidays.  My friends and relatives love to receive them as Christmas gifts. 

My real passion is in the kitchen.  My husband and I eat well because we grow a lot in our garden and use these fresh vegetables in whatever we make.  We have thought of opening a small cafe, but opportunity has not come upon us.  I am old fashioned and measure like my grandmother would, with a pinch or smiggin here and there. 

My favorite receipe is an English Toffee cookie:     I cup of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, saltine crackers, chocolate chips, & toffee bits.   Place crackers on a greased cookie sheet, all lined up avoiding spaces if possible.  Melt butter & brown sugar together until is reaches 235 degrees on a candy thermometer.  Then pour over crackers.  Bake for 10 - 15 min. in 325 oven.  Watch closely.  Take out & spread chocolate chips on top, then toffee bits.  Put in cold place for 15 minutes and you can cut.

Wonderful recipe.  You will love it and it is so easy.
